Chilaquiles Casserole

From EatingWell: June/July 2006

Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I live in New York City where the "Mexican" food is abysmal, because there is too much Caribbean influence here. I am originally from Southern California and I miss what I consider to be the good Mexican stuff. But why are black beans so...

Easy to make and delicious. I added jalapenos, cilantro and cayenne pepper, but otherwise followed the recipe. I froze half and hopefully it will reheat well.

Quick question--did it reheat well? I am always on the hunt for dishes that I can freeze. Thanks in advance.

Definitely a keeper. Easy, quick, and made with pantry staples (at least in our house). I used canned diced tomatoes w/ jalepenos, black beans, corn (all drained), and whatever leftover taco shells (broken) and tortilla shells I had. We didn't have shredded cheese on hand, so we had to improvise with sliced cheese which totally blew any healthy thing we had going, but did make it extra creamy WHICH RULED! It was good served that night and as leftovers the following day. It's not pretty, but it's good :).

Another good use for zucchini! Seemed a little bland so I melded with another recipe. Rather than canned enchilada sauce, I used fresh tomatoes after I had toasted 1 tablespoon+ hot chili powder and some ground cumin with cooked onion. A little red wine also lends a nice touch.

I followed this recipe to the letter. I did make sure the veggies were drained and not juicy before baking.
It came out perfect! I am not a fan of Mexican style food, but I adore this casserole.
